Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
For the Mango Glaze:
- 1/4 cup mango puree
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined, then fold in the mango puree.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make the glaze: While the cake bakes, mix together the mango puree and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
- Cool and glaze: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle the mango glaze over the top.
Notes
- For an extra tropical touch, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of the glaze.
- If you can’t find fresh mango, canned mango puree works just as well.
- This cake can be served as a simple snack or dessert and pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
